5 runs give your car much time for the engine, oil, and drivetrain to come
up to temp; this takes much longer than the coolant. The whole idea is to simulate
real world conditions; patience along with acurate data loging is the best way. We
install the wideband O2 sensor for an accurate reading. Our service cost a little
bit more than others because we are using the best equipment on the market and the
best trained staff. We typically use our Mustang dyno. Our Dynopack dyno requires
your cars hubs bolted to it, taking a bit longer, but offering exceptionaly accurate
and repeatable results; these results cannot be skewed by tire pressure, tie down, or
wheel weight as on other dynos.

*some vehicles with unconventional exhaust configurations may incure a small extra
fee*

Q: Why should I have VAC dyno tune my vehicle?

At VAC, you get what
you pay for!

Many “dyno
shops” have appeared in the past few years attempting to capitalize on the
ever growing BMW tuning market. These shops may feel that it’s easy to go
from a retailer to a “tuner”Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ however; many shops have a
lack of experience and the credentials to properly tune your BMW.
Though tuning between piston powered vehicles is very much fundamentally the same,
a BMW is not a Honda, LS1, Rotary, Porsche, or anything else. Often times, the secret
to tuning a BMW is beyond just air/fuel ratios and timing maps, but avoiding the
pitfalls and common mistakes each unique job brings to the table.

We employ state of
the art equipment and can tune nearly any popular BMW application. You have
access to an engine dyno, but our Dynopack dyno offers you all the advantages of
the former, with the key benefit of the engine sitting in its natural environment:
the engine bay. For engines equipped with individual throttle bodies, carburetors,
or F/I; engine bay harmonics, and high temperature regions and can play a role
in intake pulsation and accurate tuning.

Anyone with
the financial resources can purchase a dyno, but this does not make them a qualified
tuner for your needs. Many shops can boast about the ability to tune anything, but at
VAC, we employ degreed engineers at a facility with more than 20+ years
experience with building and racing, AND specializing in BMWs. We understand
the more complex science behind proper tuning for a specific and real world application.

Q: Can VAC tune Carbureted and Mechanically Injected vehicles?

A: Yes absolutely...

We can tune both
aftermarket and factory BMW carburetors. Popular carbs like Weber, SK, Solex, Mikuni
are all no problem.

We can also tune
mechanical injection like the Kugelfischer injection found on the 2002tii and Hilborn
injection like those used on our prototype S14 Midget racer engine.

Q: What type of BMWs and ECUs does VAC tune?

A: VAC specializes
in state of the art OEM factory ECU tuning for all BMWs, as well as our own
KMS and MoTec standalone ECUs.
Tuning for other systems is approved on a case per case basis.

Q: Does VAC tune any other vehicles besides BMW?

A: At this moment,
we specialize in BMW only.
We may offer Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Land Rover in the near future.

If your vehicle (not
a BMW) is equipped with a MoTec or KMS ECU, call to discus this option as we have
done this in the past.

Q: What kind of power figures will I make on VAC's Dyno?

A:We have great results
with our awesome Dynapack Dynamometer! You will get honest, real world horsepower
with this top of the line equipment.

The Dynapack in an
expensive piece of equipment made for the professional racer and tuner who
wants to create a winning automobile, not boast about big numbers. It is a load
based dyno that offer greater control and options for the user looking for the ideal
real world tune.

Other "dyno shops"
try to create appeal for their cheaper and 'ego boosting' dynamometers by spreading
rumors about Dynapack dynos. Many shops chose these dynos because most of what they
offer are "power pulls", in other words they are just for bragging rights, and often
modify their Dynos settings that show altered and 'optimistic' results.

At VAC, we give you
the honest results. We have received many letters and praises from pros and club
racers alike stating that there VAC Dyno Tune was "the best money the ever spent
on their BMW"
